An eye-opener as to the struggle of Filipinos involved in Hip Hop in the Philippines. Manila based hip hop artists and their struggle to gain acceptance in the Philippine sound scape. Take a glimpse into the lives of hip hop artists from a country where hip hop culture is under constant scrutiny from a skeptical public. What will it take for these artists to prove their skills? Will hip hop become big in the Philippines, or will it be forever discarded as "jologs," underclass, and uncultured? These hardworking hip hop heads show you the passion and style they bring to the game where lyrical boundaries blur and innovation is prized.

What we're about to do is go back. . . way back. Back to a time when rap music was created in basements, not boardrooms. When Hip-Hop was about nuance, creativity, and moving the crowd -- not moving units. Check The Rhyme is a feature-length documentary film about Hip-Hop's evolution - the origins, the current state, and the collective future, told first hand by the pioneers and artists who have made Hip-Hop what it is - one of the most popular forms of music in the world. Live performance footage from some of Hip-Hop's most revered icons help vividly tell this story and capture the essence of the art-form.

Until now, this film has been funded entirely by our producers. The film is almost complete but they need help to get it over he finish line. Please hit www.indiegogo.com link and look out how ever you can! If you can't contribute, please just spread the word!

A 30 minute documentary (broken down in 3 parts for your viewing abilities) focused on the original idea behind the Hip Hop culture and how that shifted throughout the years. Please take some time to check out all three parts.

If you're a real Hip Hop head from any region. If you respect the culture & represent it with pride . If you see through the trash they try to pass off as hip hop now a days stand up!

What Is Hip Hop Culture?

"Too many people are unclear as to what Hip Hop Culture really is and tend to use the term frivolously. Hip Hop Culture is commonly recognized by its main elements: Graffiti, Djing, Breakdancing (B-boying), Mcing, and Beatboxing. These elements are forms of art designed to express a deeper meaning. At its core, Hip Hop is also much more than art and entertainment. Hip Hop is the constantly evolving spirit and consciousness of urban youth that keeps recreating itself in a never-ending cycle. It is joy, sorrow, pleasure, pain, victory, defeat, anger, happiness, confusion, clarity, humor, intensity, dream, nightmare, life, death, and everything else in between. It is the spirit that connects the past to the present and lays a path towards the future. The spirit of Hip Hop is the same as Jazz, Reggae, Blues and a multitude of other types of expressions. Hip Hop Culture cannot be assimilated, integrated, diluted, watered-down, sold for profit, or pimped. It will always exist, in this incarnation or another. Hip Hop is life and all it has to offer. This knowledge lays the foundation for all those who thought of Hip Hop as nothing more than entertainment" Sebastien Elkouby (RHHF Author/Hip Hop Educator

Hip Hop!

"Unfortunately, hip hop culture has been misrepresented by the media. In this quest for peace, we shouldn't depend solely on the media for information about hip hop culture, since there have been many cases where the media has helped to promote division and corruption within the culture. We should not rely on sources that have no authority, knowledge or understanding regarding hip hop" POPMASTER FABEL
